FOR Cardiff is the BID (business improvement district) for Cardiff city centre. A BID is an arrangement whereby business rate payers within a set area agree to pay an additional levy to see a range of projects and services delivered on their behalf. A BID is established via a formal ballot process. Businesses are presented with a business plan, including a levy charge, and asked to vote on whether or not they would like to see the plan implemented. If the outcome of the ballot is positive a BID is formally established and the levy becomes a legally enforceable charge for a five year period. You can read the FOR Cardiff business plan here.

How is our levy calculated?

The levy is charged at 1% of the rateable value of the property your business is located in as of April 1st 2021. If your property entered the rating list after this date you will be charged 1% of the rateable value at the point it ended the list. Properties which pay a service charge to a shopping centre may be eligible for a discount on their levy of up to 30% – this is assessed annually and is based on the services that the shopping centre provides. Businesses with a rateable value of less than £25,000 are exempt from paying the BID levy.

Sut mae ein ardoll yn cael ei gyfrifo?

Codir yr ardoll ar 1% o werth ardrethol yr eiddo y lleolir eich busnes ynddo o Ebrill 1 2021. Os oedd eich eiddo yn nodi’r rhestr sgorio ar ôl y dyddiad yma, bydd 1% o’r gwerth ardrethol yn codi 1% o’r gwerth ardrethol ar y pwynt y daeth i ben y rhestr. Gall eiddo sy’n talu tâl gwasanaeth i ganolfan siopa fod yn gymwys i gael gostyngiad ar eu ardoll o hyd at 30% – caiff hyn ei asesu’n flynyddol ac mae’n seiliedig ar y gwasanaethau y mae’r ganolfan siopa yn eu darparu. Mae busnesau sydd â gwerth ardrethol o lai na £25,000 wedi’u heithrio rhag talu ardoll yr AGB.

How do we pay the levy?

In accordance with the Business Improvement District regulations Cardiff Council act as the ‘billing authority’ and issue BID Levy bills on our behalf on December 1st each year. Please make payment to the council in accordance with the instructions on your bill and do not attempt to pay FOR Cardiff directly. All monies received by the council in payment of the levy are transferred directly to the BID. The levy is charged annually in advance, if you move into the FOR Cardiff area during the year you will not be charged until December 1st.

Sut mae talu'r ardoll?

Yn unol â rheoliadau’r Ardal Gwella Busnes mae Cyngor Caerdydd yn gweithredu fel yr ‘awdurdod bilio’ ac yn cyhoeddi biliau Ardoll AGB ar ein rhan ar 1 Rhagfyr bob blwyddyn. Os gwelwch yn dda gwnewch daliad i’r cyngor yn unol â’r cyfarwyddiadau ar eich bil a pheidiwch â cheisio talu Caerdydd AM BYTH yn uniongyrchol. Mae’r holl arian sy’n cael ei dderbyn gan y cyngor yn talu’r ardoll, yn cael ei drosglwyddo yn uniongyrchol i’r Ardal Gwella Busnes. Mae’r ardoll yn cael ei godi’n flynyddol o flaen llaw, os ydych chi’n symud i ardal Caerdydd AM BYTH yn ystod y flwyddyn ni fyddwch yn gorfod talu tan 1 Rhagfyr.
